A movement of unique originality,with craftsmanship in every aspect

With this 8-Day Power Reserve Spring Drive watch, Grand Seiko takes another step forward on its remarkable journey. Long renowned for its high quality, precision and the purity of its aesthetic, Grand Seiko now adds a new dimension in the form of hand craftsmanship with a uniquely Japanese beauty.

The dial has a unique texture that echoes the feel of the wind-borne snow on the mountains of the Shinshu region that is the Studio’s home. This “diamond dust” texture with its subtle sparkle is achieved by a complex process that involves die forging, plating and several layers of coating. The long tempered-blue seconds hand moves serenely and continuously across the snowscape dial in Spring Drive’s signature glide motion. Manual winding Spring Drive. 43.0mm case made from Platinum 950.
